St. Anthony Messenger first appeared in print in 1893. Throughout its century-plus of continuous
publication we have been addressing the religious and spiritual concerns
of Catholic families and readers while applying Catholic teaching
to the problems and situations we meet in everyday life.

Our Franciscan forefathers, Saints Francis of Assisi and Anthony of
Padua, took the gospel of Christ into the marketplace to meet people where
they were. We too hope to meet you where you arehere on the Web!

Each month at this site you will find articles about everything from
Scripture to social problems, movie and TV reviews, editorials and responses
of the Franciscan priest who writes Ask a Franciscan.
